What are Meekes Chances?
This weekend sees Kris Meeke compete in the Killarney Rally of the Lakes in Ireland, driving for the first time an S1600 Clio. How do you rate his chances of victory?

Zero again..... i can't see any possibility of it happening unless the majority of wrc/ 4wd cars have major problems, his car is 2 wheel drive and under powered

nice to see him out again i guess pity its not a wrc still and all he should put in some good times. Sunday will probably be better for him as I think Saturday will be a bit wet.

I underestimated what he could do in that car, I thought it less potent than the C2 and WRCs in Ireland have moved forward in 2 years since the Ulster, I followed this rally online and his times in the wet on saturday were very impressive, reminding us all again of the shame that it is that his career has stalled. Will he be out in the Clio again?

I think Ian Roche of excel rallying is trying to get him out in the Clio S1600 again ... but Kris Meeke has to come up with 5000 euro for every day Meeke is rallying in the event .
Evans only finished 3rd in the Yaris behind Daniel Cronin & Eddie Doherty. With his experience on Irish roads I'd expect him to beat these guys if he was still using the Polo R5. He doesn't seem...
